Müller, VC (2017) Legal vs. ethical obligations – a comment on the EPSRC’s principles for robotics. Connection Science, 29 (2). pp. 137-141. ISSN 0954-0091
Abstract
While the 2010 EPSRC principles for robotics state a set of 5 rules of what ‘should’ be done, I argue they should differentiate between legal obligations and ethical demands. Only if we make this difference can we state clearly what the legal obligations already are, and what additional ethical demands we want to make. I provide suggestions how to revise the rules in this light and how to make them more structured.
